living in this country is like being awake on the table

writers! keep your C.V. up to date! particularly all the publication credits section! and don't leave out the weirdo zines and DIY pubs your friends asked you to contribute to. list e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. you don't need to be an academic to have a C.V.!

Creators! your regular reminder that the Internet isn't forever and to screen grab pages when they're still live!

My contribution to the NYT discourse

Currently binging Carrie Carolyn Coco: My Friend, Her Murder, and an Obsession with the Unthinkable by Sarah Gerard.

I hadn't left the house - or my bed even - since I came home early from work Tuesday. I finally pulled it together to run some errands and was told by a rando dude to "get over yourself." Back to bed for me!

Hot take: I'm truly not interested in hand wringing over how much people will miss enjoying the books of men who have turned out to be abusers. I'm far more concerned about the missing art that women haven't been able to create/publish because they crossed paths with such men.

I thought I caught COVID but after two negative tests I think it's just an old-fashioned case of malaise

it's two items of clothing and nothing more weather here in Seattle

the denial of his condition by everyone surrounding him from inner to outer circles makes me wonder if anyone genuinely cares about him or if his willfulness is a symptom

I'm still waiting for this installment...

Shout out to all the elementary school teachers and onward who went out of their way to praise my writing - I think of you all often with immense gratitude. Special recognition goes to my 8th-grade LA teacher who loved my story about a sex worker on Christmas Eve.

Already been sent the AI-written R&B song about the balls and the butthole twice today, if the betting line is ten I'll take the over.
